Chapter 1 Rebirth as a Farmer

The autumn bushes surrounding the house resemble those of Tao's house, and the sun is setting gradually around the fence.

Su Zhi stared at the cluster of yellow chrysanthemums outside the window in a daze. Three days had passed since she woke up and found herself in a strange and dilapidated house. She had accepted that she had really traveled through time like the heroine in the online novels she read when she was bored. However, she did not travel to become a rich royal family, but a peasant woman.

The owner of this body is Zhao Xiaomei, a newlywed who married a farmer named Shen Zian.

This is nothing. For Su Zhi, being able to be reborn is a good thing. However, there is a pity in this good thing, that is, this body is sick.

Su Zhi was tied up when she came here. At that time, she thought she was kidnapped, but when she felt the itching and pain all over her body, she found that it was not the case. She was tied up to prevent her from scratching. If she scratched, the spots on her body would break and then spread further.

Su Zhi couldn't help but sigh at her bad luck. She could only think that if God wanted to give a person a great responsibility, he would first send a great disaster to that person. She didn't believe that God let her be reborn just to let her die again, and she didn't believe that this disease could not be cured.

"Ah! Fourth brother, why did you take away so much water at once?! We all work hard all day and come back to drink some hot water and wash our hands properly. There is only one pot of water, and you took away so much water at once and let us drink cold water or wash our hands with cold water?!"

Suddenly, a sharp female voice was heard outside, followed by a burst of crying.

"Oh my God! My life is so hard. After working hard in the fields all day, I come home and there is no sick lazy person to enjoy the life! Not only does she eat and drink for free without working, but she also has to spend money on medicine. That's all, but she even snatches a sip of water from us. Where is justice in this world? Everyone, please give us some justice. I can't live like this anymore—"

The last sound is particularly long, just like singing an opera.

If Su Zhi hadn't heard it several times every day for three days, she would have really wanted to laugh. She knew that the woman with the shrill voice was the third daughter-in-law of the family, Sun, and the sickly lazy guy she was referring to was herself, and the fourth brother she was referring to was her husband in this body, Shen Zian.

"Okay, Third Brother's wife, stop making a fuss. Zi'an is also worried about his wife. Get up. At most, you can boil another pot of water. Let Zi'an go get some firewood. You won't say anything about this, right?"

An old lady's voice that sounded kind rang out. This was the mother-in-law of the family, Shen Zhang. Su Zhi could recognize her because every time Sun made a fuss, she would come out to mediate. She looked like a kind and fair old lady who wanted everyone to be harmonious. The reason why she said it was because Su Zhi thought she was not fair at all. She thought so because every time she tried to mediate, Shen Zian would definitely suffer. Like this time, wasn't he arranged to collect firewood?

Su Zhi found it very strange. Usually, the mother-in-law would side with the son in a fight between the daughter-in-law and the son. Even if she appeared to side with the daughter-in-law, she would not actually punish the son. In the end, she would even find ways to make the daughter-in-law suffer. Why was it so wrong with Shen Zhang's case?

Did she meet a good mother-in-law? That's more difficult than winning a 5 million jackpot. Especially in novels about traveling back to ancient times, the heroines will definitely meet a great mother-in-law. Did she change her luck?

The noise outside did not die down despite Shen Zhang's mediation; Sun was still shouting.

"Marry, marry, marry a sick girl! Who knows if she will pass the disease on to others? She only eats and takes medicine all day long. What's the point of marrying such a woman? Didn't the fortune teller say that she had a bad fate and had to be raised in a nunnery when she was a child? I think the reason she has such dirty things is because of the evil spirit that came out after leaving the Buddha! It's better to send her back, so that our whole family won't be killed by her! The Zhao family is really a piece of shit. They knew their daughter was sick but still sent her here secretly. Isn't this cheating us?"

"Okay, shut up. Our two families have been engaged since childhood. Now it's done. There's no time to regret. Zi'an hasn't said anything yet. Why are you making such a fuss? Even if she eats and takes medicine, Zi'an is there to support her. He didn't say that he wasted the money from his family. Zi'an, don't you agree?"

Shen Zhang's words were very righteous, and to others, she seemed to be a reasonable person. However, Su Zhi felt that it was not right. What mother in the world would be willing for her son to marry a sick person, and she even publicly asked her son to promise to pay for it himself? No ordinary mother would do this, right? Which mother doesn't love her son? But maybe she was overthinking it, maybe she would help her son privately.

While Su Zhi was thinking about these things, the door creaked open and a young man came in. It was Su Zhi's husband in this life, Shen Zian.

Shen Zian was good-looking, with a thin face and wheat-colored skin. He was quite handsome, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a green cloth robe and holding an earthenware jar in his hands.

"You're awake now. You must be thirsty. I'll pour you some water."

Shen Zian came over and poured the water in the earthenware jar into a bowl on the table nearby. Then he brought it over, helped Su Zhi lean against him, and brought the bowl to her lips.

Su Zhi finished drinking and said to him, "Please let me go. I won't scratch you. I want to go to the bathroom."

Shen Zian's wheat-colored face turned red. It had been a while since he started to feel shy, but he was still shy. Su Zhi had read a sentence in a book that said people who are shy are usually kind-hearted. And this man would still blush just because his wife said she had to go to the bathroom after such a long time. He must be a very kind person, right?

Su Zhi suddenly thought of her husband in her previous life. Su Zhi's parents divorced and she was alone, so she wanted a happy family. After she married her husband, he wanted her to be a full-time wife at home. So she really quit her well-paid job and turned from a workplace idiot into an excellent housewife. Three years of marriage taught her everything a woman should know, but when she wanted a child, she fell ill. After spending a lot of money, the man chose to divorce. From that time on, she stopped believing in love.

Shen Zian is now taking care of Su Zhi, but Su Zhi is wondering when he will abandon her. Although he will sleep in the same bed with her and let her lean on him, he doesn't mind her illness at all, which was said by Sun to be a contagious disease. Of course, the Shen family probably thinks so, otherwise why would they never come to see her? And let her live in a house so far away from them. It is not difficult to see from this house that it must not have been a house for people to live in before, but more like a woodshed.

This house only has a bed and a table, not even a chair. It is all earthy in color. From the broken places, you can see that it is actually made of bamboo or wood, and then covered with mud. The beams on the roof are so thin that they can only be called sticks, and the rest is made of bamboo, covered with grass. There is only one small window, but it is blocked by wooden boards. Only through the broken hole can you see a touch of the tender yellow of chrysanthemums.

Su Zhi's place to relieve herself was on one side of the chrysanthemums. The rest of the place was an empty vegetable patch with a fence on the edge, forming a small courtyard.

"It's not itchy at this time, is it?"

Shen Zian asked, his voice was calm and soothing.

Su Zhi said, "It's a little itchy, but I will resist scratching it. Just talk to me. If I have other things to do, I will forget about the itch."

Shen Zian nodded and said, "What? How about I tell you about my hunting trips in the mountains? I hunted a lot of pheasants and rabbits in the summer. I'll take you there when you get better. Of course, if you don't want to go, just stay at home."

"I want to go."

Su Zhi's eyes lit up. She thought that the ancient times were not bad. She could hunt, which meant she could eat meat without spending money, and she could also sell it for money. And wherever there were mountains, there were treasures. There were not only animals in the mountains, but also fruits and herbs. After her divorce, she was tired of the city and had a disease, so she went to the countryside to live. But she learned a lot about living in the countryside, including plants.

Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and thought that she seemed different from when she first came. When she first came, she was dull and lifeless, and her temper was sometimes not so good. But since she woke up from a high fever three days ago, she seemed like a different person. She talked more and her voice was surprisingly pleasant, like the sound of a river flowing.

Su Zhi saw Shen Zian staring at her and pushed him away, saying, "Why do you keep looking at me? Your face looks unrecognizable. How can it be good-looking?"

"You are my wife now, it doesn't matter if you are ugly."

Su Zhi watched Shen Zian say this quietly, and she suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. Her husband in her previous life had said words that were a hundred times sweeter than this, but in the end, he still divorced her just because she got sick.

"Don't be sad. I will work hard to earn money to treat your illness. It will be cured."

Shen Zian saw the sadness in Su Zhi's eyes and comforted her. This woman was once his responsibility. He married her only because his parents ordered him to. Since he married her, he would treat her well. After spending a few days with her, he found that this daughter-in-law had clear eyes and a gentle tone. Even if she was uncomfortable, she would endure it stubbornly. She was gentle and stubborn, which gradually made him like her.

Su Zhi asked: "What if it can't be cured?"

"Of course I have raised you all my life. We are husband and wife now."

"I have so many illnesses, isn't that a burden to you?"

"What do you mean by burden? You are my wife."

Su Zhi knew that this was the best consolation after hearing these words. In ancient times, men might think that marriage is for life, right? Even if the woman he married was a sick and ugly one.

"Really? If you ever fall in love with a pretty woman, I will bite you to death."

Su Zhi said, she just said that, but she thought that with her temper she would probably let him go, just like what she said to her husband, since you are so heartless, I will divorce you. She has always been such a proud woman.

Su Zian smiled when he heard this, and he looked very beautiful when he smiled.

Su Zhi's mood gradually improved as she listened to Shen Zian talking about his hunting experiences. She thought that coming to this place, meeting this man, and becoming a peasant woman might be a good thing, right?
